Is a good tutorial on removing bearings and cleaning them....

You don't make mention of the reel model....

But if your thinking of going deeper into the reel. Then you need the have the schematic for the reel in front of you (plus a knowledge of how to read the diagram), a good clean place to do the work, and last but not least a good mechanical aptitude and able to use small tools.

The only tutorial left on-line that might be worth the time to watch on complete break downs, would be the one that is sold on the Lake Fork Tackle Repair site, and it only references Shimano® reels..
